Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine lichtemittierende Vorrichtung zur Erzeugung von weißem Licht aus einer Lumineszenzdiode und einer Phosphorschicht.The invention relates to a light emitting device for generating white light from a light emitting diode and a phosphor layer.

Lumineszenzdioden werden als Signalleuchten, Indikatoranzeigen, Kontroll- und Warnlampen, als Lichtsender in Lichtschranken, für Optokoppler, IR- Fernsteuerungs- und Lichtwellenleiterübertragungssysteme angewendet. Sie bieten eine ganze Reihe von Vorteilen gegenüber anderen lichtemittierenden Bauelementen, z.B. Glühlampen. Sie haben eine hohe Lebensdauer, große Stoß- und Vibrationsfestigkeit, gute Modulierbarkeit bis ins MHZ-Gebiet, hohe Packungsdichten, breite Schaltkreiskompatibilität und keine Einschaltstromspitzen. Sie benötigen eine niedrige Betriebsspannung und haben eine geringe Leistungsaufnahme.Light-emitting diodes are used as signal lamps, indicator displays, control and warning lamps, as light transmitters in photoelectric sensors, for optocouplers, IR remote control and optical fiber transmission systems. They offer a number of advantages over other light-emitting devices, e.g. Lightbulbs. They have a long service life, high shock and vibration resistance, good modulability up to the MHZ range, high packing densities, wide circuit compatibility and no inrush current peaks. They require a low operating voltage and have a low power consumption.

Es war jedoch lange Zeit ein Nachteil der Lumineszenzdioden für sichtbares Licht, daß nicht alle Farben des sichtbaren Lichtes mit der gleichen Leuchtintensität verfügbar waren. Der Wirkungsgrad der Lumineszenzdioden verschlechtert sich mit abnehmender Wellenlänge, d.h. von rot über grün nach blau. Während die Helligkeit von roten und grünen Lumineszenzdioden sehr gut war und durch moderne Herstellungsverfahren noch erheblich gesteigert wurde, hatten blaue Lumineszenzdioden eine verhältnismäßig geringe Lichtintensität. Deshalb war es nicht möglich, mit einfachen Mitteln eine farbneutrale, weiße Beleuchtung durch eine Kombination von Lumineszenzdioden zu erreichen.However, it has long been a drawback of the visible light emitting diodes that not all visible light colors with the same luminous intensity were available. The efficiency of the light-emitting diodes deteriorates with decreasing wavelength, i. from red to green to blue. While the brightness of red and green light-emitting diodes was very good and was considerably increased by modern production methods, blue light-emitting diodes had a relatively low light intensity. Therefore, it was not possible to achieve a color-neutral, white illumination by a combination of light-emitting diodes with simple means.

Theoretisch läßt sich jede Farbe des sichtbaren Lichtes aus kurzwelligem Licht, d.h. blauem, violettem und ultraviolettem Licht erzeugen. Man kombiniert dazu die Lumineszenzdiode, die kurzwelliges Licht abstrahlt, mit einem geeigneten Phosphor, der das kurzwellige Licht in die gewünschte Farbe konvertiert, indem er das kurzwellige Licht absorbiert und Licht der anderen Farbe im längerwelligen Bereich wieder abstrahlt.Theoretically, any color of visible light can be generated from shortwave light, ie, blue, violet, and ultraviolet light. It combines the light emitting diode, which emits short-wave light, with a suitable phosphor, which converts the short-wave light into the desired color, by absorbing the short-wave light and re-emitting light of the other color in the longer wavelength range.

Weißes Licht läßt sich z. B. mit einer blauemittierenden Lumineszenzdiode erzeugen, wenn sie mit einem Phosphor kombiniert wird, der blaues Licht absorbiert, es konvertiert und es als Licht im gelborangenen Bereich des Spektrums abgibt. Das gelborange Licht mischt sich mit dem verbliebenen Anteil des blauen Lichtes aus der Lumineszenzdiode und man erhält aus Blau zusammen mit der Komplementärfarbe Gelb weißes Licht.White light can be z. B. with a blue emitting light emitting diode when combined with a phosphor which absorbs blue light, converts it and emits it as light in the yellow-orange region of the spectrum. The yellow-orange light mixes with the remaining portion of the blue light from the light-emitting diode and is obtained from blue together with the complementary color yellow white light.

Beispielsweise ist aus JP 08007614 A (Patent Abstracts of Japan) eine flächige Lichtquelle bekannt, für die eine lichtemittierende Diode benutzt wird, die blaues Licht emittiert, und die mit einer fluoreszierenden Schicht aus einem orange fluoreszierenden Pigment kombiniert wird, so daß das blaue Licht der Diode als weißes Licht beobachtet werden kann. Ein Nachteil dieser Lichtquelle ist es, daß der Farbton des weißen Lichtes durch die kleine Menge des fluoreszierenden Pigmentes in der fluoreszierenden Schicht stark beeinflußt wird und deshalb schwer zu kontrollieren ist. Nur mit einer hohen Farbtemperatur zwischen 8000 und 8600 K erhält man eine gute Farbwiedergabe. Erniedrigt man die Farbtemperatur, so fällt auch der Farbwiedergabeindex CRI erheblich.For example, it is off JP 08007614 A (Patent Abstracts of Japan) discloses a planar light source using a light-emitting diode which emits blue light and which is combined with a fluorescent layer of an orange fluorescent pigment so that the blue light of the diode is observed as white light can. A disadvantage of this light source is that the hue of the white light is greatly affected by the small amount of the fluorescent pigment in the fluorescent layer and therefore difficult to control. Only with a high color temperature between 8000 and 8600 K, a good color rendering is obtained. If the color temperature is lowered, the color rendering index CRI also drops considerably.

Weiterhin ist aus Jpn.J. Appl. Phys. Vol.35(1996) pp. L838 - L839 eine Lichtquelle bekannt, die eine blaue lichtemittierende Diode, die durch einen hohen Injektionsstrom auch zur Emission von UV-Licht angeregt wird, und einer Leuchtstoffmischung, die ZnS:Ag (blau), ZnS:Cu,Al(grün) und ZnCdS:Ag (rot) umfasst.Furthermore, it is off Jpn.J. Appl. Phys. Vol.35 (1996) pp. L838 - L839 a light source is known which has a blue light-emitting diode, which is also excited by a high injection current for the emission of UV light, and a phosphor mixture, the ZnS: Ag (blue), ZnS: Cu, Al (green) and ZnCdS: Ag ( red).

In der nicht vorveröffentlichten WO 97/48138 ist eine Lampe aus einem Array von individuellen roten, grünen und blauen phosphorkonverterten UV-LEDs, die individuell angesteuert rotes grünes oder blaues Licht liefern oder gemeinsam angesteuert weißes Mischlicht ergeben, offenbart.In the not pre-published WO 97/48138 is a lamp of an array of individual red, green, and blue phosphorous-converted UV LEDs that individually provide red green or blue light, or together provide white mixed light.

Darüber hinaus sind in EP 0446 846 Farbstoffzubereitungen offenbart, die fluoreszierende Europium-Komplexe enthalten, sowie deren Verwendung in Farbstoffzubereitungen für ein Thermotransfer-Farbdruckverfahren.In addition, in EP 0446 846 Discloses dye preparations containing fluorescent europium complexes and their use in dye formulations for a thermal transfer color printing process.

Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine lichtemittierende Vorrichtung zur Erzeugung von weißem Licht zu schaffen, deren Farbtonwiedergabe leicht zu regulieren ist und dessen Farbwiedergabeindex hoch ist.It is the object of the present invention to provide a light-emitting device for producing white light, the color tone reproduction of which is easy to regulate and whose color rendering index is high.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe gelöst durch eine lichtemittierende Vorrichtung mit einer UV-Diode mit einer Primäremission von 300 nm ≤ λ≤ 370 nm und mit einer Phosphorschicht mit einer Mischung aus einem blau-emittierenden Phosphor mit einer Emissionsbande mit 430 um ≤ λ ≤ 490 nm, einem grün-emittierenden Phosphor, der ein Linienemitter mit einer Emissionsbande mit einem Wellenlängenmaximum mit 520 nm ≤ λ ≤ 570 nm ist und einem rot-emittierenden Phosphor, der ein Linienemitter mit einer Emissionsbande mit einem Wellenlängenmaximum mit 605 nm ≤ λ ≤ 620 nm ist.According to the invention, the object is achieved by a light-emitting device with a UV diode having a primary emission of 300 nm ≦ λ≤370 nm and having a phosphor layer with a mixture of a blue-emitting phosphor having an emission band of 430 μm ≦ λ ≦ 490 nm, a green emitting phosphor which is a line emitter having an emission band having a maximum wavelength of 520 nm ≤ λ ≤ 570 nm and a red emitting phosphor which is a line emitter having an emission band having a wavelength maximum of 605 nm ≤ λ ≤ 620 nm.

Die lichtemittierende Vorrichtung zeigt eine hohe Farbwiedergabe und gleichzeitig hohe Effizienz, weil die Phosphore die UV-Bande mit hoher Effizienz absorbieren, die Quantenausbeute hoch - über 90% - ist und die Halbwertsbreite der Emissionslinie gering ist. Die Lichtausbeute ist hoch, weil kein Licht im Bereich oberhalb 440 nm und unterhalb 650 nm emittiert wird, wo die Augenempfindlichkeit gering ist. -The light-emitting device exhibits high color rendering and high efficiency at the same time because the phosphors absorb the UV band with high efficiency, the quantum efficiency is high - over 90% - and the half-width of the emission line is small. The light output is high because no light is emitted in the range above 440 nm and below 650 nm, where the eye sensitivity is low. -

Das von der lichtemittierenden Vorrichtung emittierte weiße Licht ist von hoher Qualität. Der Farbwiedergabeindex CRI liegt bei 90 bei einer Farbtemperatur von 4000 K. Die Farbwiedergabe hängt dabei nur von der Zusammensetzung der drei Phosphore ab, nicht von der Relation von konvertiertem zu nichtkonvertiertem Licht und ist deshalb einfach zu kontrollieren und zu regulieren.The white light emitted from the light-emitting device is of high quality. The color rendering index CRI is 90 at a color temperature of 4000 K. The color rendering depends only on the composition of the three phosphors, not from the relation of converted to nonconverted light and is therefore easy to control and regulate.

Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es bevorzugt, daß die Phosphore Lanthanid-aktivierte Phosphore sind, insbesondere daß die Phosphore durch Eu(III) oder Tb(III) aktiviert sind.In the context of the present invention it is preferred that the phosphors are lanthanide-activated phosphors, in particular that the phosphors are activated by Eu (III) or Tb (III).

Es ist weiterhin bevorzugt, daß die UV-Diode ein GaN-Diode ist.It is further preferred that the UV diode is a GaN diode.

Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung kann es bevorzugt sein, daß die Phosphorschicht einen blau-emittierenden Phosphor in einer Menge x1 von 0 < x1 ≤ 30 Gew.-%, einen grün-emittierenden Phosphor in einer Menge x2 von 20 ≤ x2 ≤ 50 Gew.-% und einen rot-emittierenden Phosphor in einer Menge x3 von 30 ≤ x3 ≤ 70 Ges.-% enthält.In the present invention, it may be preferable that the phosphor layer has a blue-emitting phosphor in an amount x1 of 0 <x1 ≦ 30 wt%, a green-emitting phosphor in an amount x2 of 20 ≦ x2 ≦ 50 wt. % and a red-emitting phosphor in an amount x3 of 30 ≦ x3 ≦ 70% by weight.

Es kann auch bevorzugt sein, daß die Phosphorschicht als blau-emittierenden Phosphor BaMgAl10O17:Eu, als grün-emittierenden Phosphor ZnS:Cu, und als rot-emittierenden Phosphor Y2O2S:Eu enthält.It may also be preferable that the phosphor layer contains BaMgAl 10 O 17 : Eu as the blue-emitting phosphor, ZnS: Cu as the green-emitting phosphor, and Y 2 O 2 S: Eu as the red-emitting phosphor.

Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es besonders bevorzugt, daß die Phosphorschicht als rotemittierenden Phosphor einen Phosphor der Zusammensetzung [Eu(diketonat)aXb1X'b2], wobei X = Pyridin oder ein einzähniges Pyridinderivat und X' = 2,2'-Bipyridin oder ein 2,2'-Bipyridylderivat und 2a +b1 +2b2 = 8 ist, enthält.In the context of the present invention it is particularly preferred that the phosphor layer has as red-emitting phosphor a phosphor of the composition [Eu (diketonate) a X b1 X ' b2 ], where X = pyridine or a monodentate pyridine derivative and X' = 2,2'- Bipyridine or a 2,2'-bipyridyl derivative and 2a + b 1 + 2b 2 = 8.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand einer Figur und drei Ausführungsbeispielen weiter beschrieben.

Eine lichtemittierende Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung umfaßt eine UV-Diode als Anregungsquelle für die UV-Strahlung und eine Phosphorschicht, mit einer Mischung aus drei Phosphoren, die das UV-Licht der UV-Diode in sichtbares, weißes Licht umwandeln. In dem in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Vorrichtung so aufgebaut, daß die UV-Diode in einen halbkugeligen Napf aus einem Polymeren eingegossen ist, der auf einem transparenten Substrat (Frontplatte) 1 angeordnet ist. Die drei Phosphorpulver 2 sind feinverteilt in das Polymere 3 eingebettet. Der Polymerennapf bildet zusammen mit den Phosphorpulvern die Phosphorschicht. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung kann weiterhin Spiegel 4 für UV- und sichtbares Licht zur Verbesserung der Lichtauskoppelung umfassen. Beispielsweise kann der Napf selbst als Reflektor ausgebildet sein.A light-emitting device according to the invention comprises a UV diode as excitation source for the UV radiation and a phosphor layer, with a mixture of three phosphors, which convert the UV light of the UV diode into visible, white light. In the embodiment shown in the drawing, the device is constructed so that the UV diode is embedded in a hemispherical cup of a polymer, which is arranged on a transparent substrate (front panel) 1 . The three phosphor powders 2 are finely distributed embedded in the polymer 3 . The polymer cup together with the phosphorus powder forms the phosphor layer. The device according to the invention may further comprise mirrors 4 for UV and visible light for improving the light extraction. For example, the cup itself may be formed as a reflector.

Im einfachsten Fall besteht die lichtemittierende Vorrichtung aus einer UV-Diode und einer auf dieser aufgebrachten transparenten Beschichtung, die die Phosphore enthält. Die transparente Beschichtung kann beispielsweise die Phosphore in einer festen Lösung in einer transparenten Matrix aus Polyacrylat, Polystyrol, Epoxyharz oder einem anderen Polymeren enthalten.In the simplest case, the light-emitting device consists of a UV diode and a transparent coating applied thereto, which contains the phosphors. The transparent coating may, for example, contain the phosphors in a solid solution in a transparent matrix of polyacrylate, polystyrene, epoxy resin or another polymer.

Als Massenprodukte werden LEDs üblicherweise in Epoxyharz-Gehäuse vergossen, wobei eine angegossene domförmige Linse aus Epoxidharz zur Verbesserung der Auskoppelung des Lichtes aus der Diode dient. Die Phosphore können bei dieser Ausführungsform als Kontaktschicht zwischen der eigentlichen Diode und dem Epoxyharzdom aufgebracht werden. Sie können auch als Beschichtung außen auf dem Epoxyharzdom aufgebracht sein.As a mass product, LEDs are typically molded in epoxy resin housings, with a molded dome-shaped epoxy lens used to improve the extraction of light from the diode. In this embodiment, the phosphors can be applied as a contact layer between the actual diode and the epoxy resin dome. They can also be applied as a coating on the outside of the epoxy resin dome.

Große, zweidimensionale, lichtemittierende Vorrichtungen können leicht hergestellt werden, indem ein Dioden-Array mit der Phosphorschicht nach der Erfindung kombiniert wird. Beispielsweise kann das Diodenarray durch eine Glasplatte abgedeckt sein, die mit den Phosphoren bedruckt ist.Large, two-dimensional, light-emitting devices can be easily manufactured by combining a diode array with the phosphor layer of the invention. For example, the diode array may be covered by a glass plate printed with the phosphors.

Die UV-Diode ist insbesondere eine UV-Diode aus InGaN oder GaN und hat ihr Emissionsmaximum zwischen 370 und 410 nm mit einer Halbwertsbreite FWHM < 50 nm.The UV diode is in particular a UV diode made of InGaN or GaN and has its emission maximum between 370 and 410 nm with a full width at half maximum FWHM < 50 nm.

Zur Aufrechterhaltung der Lichtemission sind Mittel zur Zuführung von elektrischer Energie zu der UV-Diode vorgesehen. Diese Mittel umfassen mindestens zwei Elektroden.To maintain the light emission means are provided for supplying electrical energy to the UV diode. These means comprise at least two electrodes.

Die drei Phosphore werden so ausgewählt, daß sie durch das UV-Licht der UV-Diode angeregt werden und daß der rote Phosphor eine enge Emissionslinie bei 590 mm ≤ λ ≤ 630 nm , der grüne Phosphor eine enge Emissionslinie bei 520 nm ≤ λ ≤ 570 nm und der blaue Phosphor eine enge Emissionslinie bei 430 nm ≤ λ ≤ 490 nm hat. Für den blauen Phosphor kann statt eines Linienemitters mit einer engen Emissionslinie auch ein Breitbandemitter verwendet werden. Die Emissionslinien der drei Phosphore können sehr genau aufeinander abgestimmt werden, auch wenn die Emissionen nicht ganz unabhängig voneinander sind, da Emissionsflanken teilweise überlappen. Dadurch können die Farbkoordinaten des weißen Lichtes genau eingestellt werden. Die Phosphore sind bevorzugt Lanthanid-aktivierte Phosphore z.B. Eu3+ - oder Tb3+ -aktivierte Phosphore.The three phosphors are selected to be excited by the UV light of the UV diode and the red phosphorus has a narrow emission line at 590 mm ≤ λ ≤ 630 nm, the green phosphor a narrow emission line at 520 nm ≤ λ ≤ 570 nm and the blue phosphor has a narrow emission line at 430 nm ≦ λ ≦ 490 nm. For the blue phosphor, instead of a line emitter with a narrow emission line, a broadband emitter may also be used. The emission lines of the three phosphors can be tuned very precisely, even if the emissions are not completely independent of each other, as emission flanks partially overlap. This allows the color coordinates of the white light to be set accurately. The phosphors are preferably lanthanide-activated phosphors, for example Eu 3+ or Tb 3+ -activated phosphors.

Als rote Phosphore werden Phosphore der Zusammensetzung [Eu(diketonat)aXb1X'b2], wobei X = Pyridin oder ein einzähniges Pyridinderivat und X'=2,2'-Bipyridin oder ein 2,2'-Bipyridylderivat und 2a +b1 +2b2 = 8 ist, bevorzugt. Diese komplexen Koordinationsverbindungen des Europium(III) enthalten Eu3+ als Metallzentrum, Diketonate als anionische Chelatliganden und 2,2'-Bipyridin oder ein 2,2'-Bipyridylderivat als neutrale Chelatliganden. Als Diketonate werden Pentan-2,4-dithionat (acac), 2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-3,5-heptandithionat (thd), 1-(2-Thenoyl)-4,4,4-trifluor-1,3,butandithionat (ttfa), 7,7-Dimethyl-1,1,1,2,2,3,3-heptafluor-4,6-octandithionat(fod), 4,4,4-Trifluor-1-(2-naphtyl)-1,3-butandithionat (tfnb), 1,3-Diphenyl-1,3-propandithionat (dbm), als neutrale Liganden X Pyridin, oder die zweizähnigen Liganden 2,2'-Bipyridin (bpy), 1,10-Phenanthrolin (phen), 4,7-Diphenyl-1,10-Phenanthrolin (dpphen), 5-Methyl-1,10 phenathrolin (mphen), 4,7-Dimethyl-1,10-phenanthrolin (dmphen), 3,4,7,8- Tetramethyl-1,10-Phenanthrolin (tmphen), 5-Nitro-1,10-Phenanthrolin (NOphen), 5-Chlor-1,10-Phenanthrolin (Clphen) oder Dipyridinphenazin (dppz) verwendet.As red phosphors are phosphors of the composition [Eu (diketonat) a X b1 X ' b2 ], wherein X = pyridine or a monodentate pyridine and X' = 2,2'-bipyridine or a 2,2'-Bipyridylderivat and 2a + b 1 + 2b 2 = 8, is preferred. These complex coordination compounds of europium (III) contain Eu 3+ as the metal center, diketonates as anionic chelate ligands and 2,2'-bipyridine or a 2,2'-bipyridyl derivative as neutral chelating ligands. As diketonates, pentane-2,4-dithionate (acac), 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedithionate (thd), 1- (2-thenoyl) -4,4,4-trifluoro-1 , 3-butanedithionate (ttfa), 7,7-dimethyl-1,1,1,2,2,3,3-heptafluoro-4,6-octanedithionate (fod), 4,4,4-trifluoro-1- ( 2-naphthyl) -1,3-butanedithionate (tfnb), 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedithionate (dbm), as the neutral ligands X pyridine, or the bidentate ligands 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), 1 , 10-phenanthroline (phen), 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dpphene), 5-methyl-1,10-phenathroline (mphene), 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dimhene), 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (temphene), 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (NOphen), 5-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline (Clphen) or dipyridinphenazine (dppz) ,

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Mischung wird ein guter Farbwiedergabeindex und gleichzeitig eine gute Energieausbeute erhalten. Die lichtemittierende Vorrichtung hat einen Farbwiedergabeindex CRI < 90 bei einer Farbtemperatur ≥4000 K und eignet sich damit für Innenraumbeleuchtung.The mixture according to the invention gives a good color rendering index and at the same time a good energy yield. The light-emitting device has a color rendering index CRI <90 at a color temperature ≥4000 K and is thus suitable for interior lighting.

Zur Herstellung der Phosphorschicht können die drei Phosphore als Beschichtung mit einem Bindemittel auf der Dioden-Oberfläche aufgebracht. Als Bindemittel eignen sich beispielsweise filmbildende Acrylpolymerisate wie Methylacrylat und Polystyrol. Alternativ können sie in Mikrogrammengen dem Epoxyharz des Epoxyharzdoms beigemischt werden und gleichmäßig im gesamten Epoxyharzdom verteilt werden. Statt Epoxyharz kann auch ein anderes transparentes Duroplast verwendet werden. Dadurch erhält man eine stärker diffuse Emission des weißen Lichtes. Wegen der großen Helligkeit der lichtemittierenden Vorrichtung kann es aus Sicherheitsgründen erwünscht sein, daß die Lichtemission diffuser ist.To produce the phosphor layer, the three phosphors can be applied as a coating with a binder on the diode surface. Suitable binders are, for example, film-forming acrylic polymers, such as methyl acrylate and polystyrene. Alternatively, they may be mixed in micrograms into the epoxy resin of the epoxy resin dome and evenly distributed throughout the epoxy resin dome. Instead of epoxy resin, another transparent thermoset can be used. This gives a more diffuse emission of white light. Because of the high brightness of the light emitting device, it may be desirable for security reasons that the light emission be more diffuse.

Im Betrieb wird durch die UV-Diode UV-Licht mit einer Wellenlänge λ ≤ 370 nm erzeugt, das auf die Mischung der Phosphore in dem Phosphorschicht fällt. Diese absorbieren die Strahlung und emittieren eine längerwellige Strahlung, d.h. die Phosphore transformieren die unsichtbare UV-Strahlung in sichtbares Licht, welches durch die Phosphore in sichtbares Licht umgewandelt wird. Durch die Mischung der drei Phosphore mit unterschiedlichen Emissionslinien wird das Licht der gewünschten Zusammensetzung erhalten.In operation, UV light having a wavelength λ ≦ 370 nm, which falls on the mixture of phosphors in the phosphor layer, is generated by the UV diode. These absorb the radiation and emit longer wavelength radiation, i. The phosphors transform the invisible UV radiation into visible light, which is converted by the phosphors into visible light. By mixing the three phosphors with different emission lines, the light of the desired composition is obtained.

Da es sich bei dem Leuchten der erfindungsgemäßen lichtemittierenden Vorrichtung nicht um das von einem glühenden Körper ausgesandte Licht handelt, sondern um das Anregungsleuchten der Phosphore in der Phosphorschicht, ist die Lichtausbeute außerordentlich hoch. Die erfindungsgemäße lichtemittierende Vorrichtung liefert ein angenehmes, farbgetreues Licht. Die im sichtbaren liegenden Emissionslinien der Phosphore liegen so dicht beieinander, daß sich ein quasi-kontinuierliches Spektrum ergibt, woraus eine gute Farbwiedergabe folgt.Since the illumination of the light-emitting device according to the invention is not the light emitted by a glowing body but the excitation illumination of the phosphors in the phosphor layer, the luminous efficacy is extraordinarily high. The light-emitting device according to the invention provides a pleasant, true-to-life light. The visible emission lines of the phosphors are so close to each other that a quasi-continuous spectrum results, from which a good color rendition follows.
